beardking Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I am having an issue with AutoCAD 2015 that is confusing me. I have an xref that is the base plan for a building I'm working on. In that base plan there are tons of different layers that I have turned off for use in creating my elevations for that building (leaving just the exterior wall information visible). When I select the base plan to move it for the different elevations, all of the layers become visible and my osnaps can "snap" to points on the frozen layers. Is there a system variable that I haven't found that can turn off this capability? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Might you be working in a Maximized viewport, and be using viewport freeze? If so, those frozen layers would be unfrozen in a new viewport I believe. Also check out the VISRETAIN system variable description (from SYSVDLG), as it may help shed some light, on xref layer preservation in general.
